  • Nissan Silvia make over

    It's been a while, but I'm still around.

    I was half way through an SRT-4 last night when some new comers to the shop asked if they could wash a Silvia. So, I told them sure, just pull it into the shop.

    My jaw just dropped - I'm not kidding. This poor car was actually growing! The worst part of this whole job is that I was too hung up on fixing the poor car to get any really good pictures. One of the tecks at the FBC snagged some before and after pics for me, but they really don't do the car justice. I couldn't fix everything, but made some serious improvements. The car will be coming back in, so I'll get better pictures then.

    -- please note color of car in the photos... That's not a error in the pictures - it did actually change color. lol!

    USED:
    NXT wash (THREE TIMES)
    Cleaner Wax - hand applied with lots of elbow grease
    #9 Swirl remover (because I had it)
    #7 Glaze
    NXT Wax
    NXT extreme tire shine

    (really - it was bad -picture taken after the car was washed.) Door was removed and scrubbed with paint brushes.

        I kinda thought I looked like a S13 with a S14 conversion+a painted roof. I don't know what it is, but something just makes me think its a S13. I am bettign that you are right though. The rear isnt boxy enough.
